In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the host, Michael Tanner breaks down the financial reality of U.S. shale drilling, citing Rystad’s analysis that shows full-cycle breakeven oil prices are now around $62.50 per barrel—higher than current WTI prices. He critiques misleading half-cycle economics and warns that current drilling may be unsustainable. Tanner also covers the IMO’s new emissions penalties for global shipping, the release of a cost calculator for compliance, and falling oil demand forecasts from the IEA amid rising recession fears. Conventional, vertical drilling may offer more profitable opportunities ahead.
